Team Preview
Chennai
Chennai has had a rough start this season of Indian T20 League. The team is yet to register their first win of this season. Skipper Ravindra Jadeja’s off-key performance in previous performances has been a matter of concern. The top order of Chennai’s batting lineup got exposed in the first four matches. However, the team needs to bounce back if they want to move further in the competition. With the extensive depth in the batting lineup, Chennai is surely one of the most lethal sides in the Indian T20 League this season. The team needs to kick it up a notch.
Bangalore
Skipper Faf du Plessis is having a wonderful time leading the Bangalore side this season. The South African batter has scored over 100 runs so far in the tournament. While du Plessis is hitting balls out of the park, players like Virat Kohli and Anuj Rawat are constantly making runs for the team in the middle. With the recent addition of Glenn Maxwell, the Bangalore side is more stable than ever.
Meanwhile, the bowling unit of Bangalore is struggling a bit. Star-bowler Mohammed Siraj picked wickets for his team. However, the young bowler still hasn’t shown his full potential with the white bowl like he did in the last season.
Pitch Report & Conditions
This Mumbai pitch is one of the best pitches to bat on in India. The Dr DY Patil Sports Academy is a batting pitch and the bowl comes on to the bat pretty nicely. For the bowlers, this wicket can turn into an absolute nightmare as there is very little margin for error, especially pacers.
On April 12th, Mumbai is predicted to have clear skies.
